Purpose

The steadfast idea that we are here as a result of a magical being's idea and preoccupation drives me nuts. Really sit and think about that a moment. Does our very existence and pursuit of happiness hinge on the need for an explanation regarding how we got here so badly that were really going to buy into this divine creation bit? Its all pretty far fetched. Perhaps if we put a little more energy into what we do with what we have, this place wouldn't be such a mess. Afterall, it seems rather self serving to act in accordance with a a structure instituted by man in the name of god with the root of its pirpose to please him and in turn secure our own ticket upstairs.  How about empathy? Why is it not enough to act out of simple understanding? Don't help the homeless guy  on the on ramp cause its what God would want you to do. Help him because, one seeing turn and it could be any one of us. Help him because he too bleeds, hungers, feels pain, feels joy. Help him because we all deserve dignity. Help him so that one day, should you find yourself on a street corner, a version of yourself may come along and help you.
